Criminal Case: Domestic Violence

2 October 2017, I looked in Yelp, Google, and Avvo website for the best Criminal Lawyer in San Diego. I found so many Lawyers; I read all of their reviews and background. I didn’t know who to go with and who will fight for my innocence, until I picked Mark Deniz because he has the best reviews and my... gut was telling me something about him. When I called Mark Deniz, he listened to my situation and he explained everything with detail. He is a professional, great listener, knowledgeable, and personable. I choose Mark Deniz because of his experience, knowledge, and he knows the procedures of the courts in San Diego because he was a prosecutor. Reading his background than I knew I needed to hired him, and I knew he will fight for me. I was being charged with a felony because of a Domestic Violence for an argument I had with my wife. The Police Officer charged me with a felony because I was seen as the aggressor. The Police Officer said, “In every call we receive for domestic violence, we always take someone”. Well that someone is me, and not the woman. Imaging how I felt when I was taking into custody, and viewed as an aggressor by the Police Officer after he saw my spouse hit me. My bail was higher than my spouse, I felt like my world ended because no one will believe a female hit a male. Police Officer didn’t believe me and took into custody. I didn’t know what to do because being charged a felony for a DV is not good for my career and future. Talking to Mark Deniz, he explained my situation and that he will fight for me to the end. It gave me comfort, but I was worried of the outcome even though Mark kept saying he will fight for me to the end. As time was getting close to court date in the middle of October 2017 my mind was going everywhere. Mark went to court in my behalf. I was home counting minutes and hours wondering the results. I thought by going to court I can explain my side, but Mark said he was going to take care of it, and he did. Mark called me to tell me I was not charged with anything, and he took care of everything. I had a big relief, and I was speechless, and didn’t know how to thank Mark. Thank GOD there are people like Mark Deniz who will clear things out and fight for innocence of people. Police Officers make their own judgment of what happened without being present. Mark Deniz and his assistant are professional, helpful, and ready to answer any questions. I am very happy for the job that Mark Deniz did, and he is very proactive. I highly recommend Mark Deniz to fight for you. He is a professional, experienced, knows the procedures of the courts, proactive, and detail with his clients. Very Respectfully, Raul

I narrow my practice with work with quality people as much as I can.  This case is an example of working with someone you want to go fight for.  Thank you for the kind words.

Highly Recommend

Mark was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and treated me like a person. I had been to two other lawyers who charged me a great deal of money, took a very long time and did not deliver favorable results. All that finally changed when I called Mark. He accomplished in two months what had taken a...nother firm seven months in a failed attempt.

The key really is to be proactive.  As a former prosecutor, I can tell you many people are reactive.  That does not work.  Thank you again.

Excellent lawyer, excellent result!

I was charged with a misdemeanor battery. I contacted Mark and explained what happened. With his background as a former prosecuter he told me what to expect over the next several weeks and what I could do in the meantime to have the best possible result with my case. Mark was spot on. I followed his ...instructions and when it came time for my case to be brought up no charges were filled. Mark and his team did an outstanding job for me! Thank you Mark!

Best attorney I could've asked for!

I was inclined to have Mark Deniz APLC represent me during my DUI due to his high rating on AVVO, Yelp and Google. However what truly led me to choose him amongst the vast amount of attorneys claiming to be DUI experts is that Mark has a proven track record of success with these cases! Not only is h...e now a defense attorney but he was at one point of his career a prosecutor, so he understands how the other side of the bench works. Mark was certainly woken up at 5am by my call on a Sunday, desperate for help as I had just been released from a Chula Vista police department for a DUI. Within less than a 15 minute call he went over "what happens next", the DMV, the court process and what would happen after my sentencing. I cannot be more grateful that we chose him, I was never alone during this process. He has walked me through it all and has kept me informed via email, text & follow up calls as late as 8pm. He also had me proactive, through signing up early for a DUI class in order to have a more favorable outcome at sentencing. This too proved to am aid in getting what we collectively felt was best for my situation.

Best Defense Attorney in San Diego

Mark Deniz is awesome. He is very professional, organized, confident and knows his stuff. He was very prompt to provide status updates after my hearings and respond to my emails/phone calls. Mr Deniz was a calming force throughout this very stressful time. I did not have to go to any of my hearings.... He was present at all of my hearings on my behalf until my case was resolved. After my case was resolved, I received clear step-by-step instructions on what the next steps. I am very pleased with the outcome of my hearing. (He was able to reduce my fines, reduce my probation time, and have my conviction expunged after one year. I highly reccomend Mark Deniz to represent your case.

What a great client.  You were easy to work with and advocate for. I always want to ensure you know what is going on every step along the way.   The process itself can be punishment and can be traumatic.  I want the process to be as easy as possible.
